The Diet Which Caused Beyonce Knowles to Lose Weight - Is It Healthy?

Beyonce Knowles-in recent times, days she became more famous for her sudden unexpected weight loss than either her vocal cords or histrionic abilities! Once she claimed on a TV show to have lost almost twenty pounds of fat using a special diet program, everyone went crazy over it. So what is this diet program and exactly how does it work, and more importantly, could Beyonce's results be duplicated by others? I will answer all these questions in this article.

Beyonce claimed to have lost the weight while shooting for the film Dream Girls, where she plays her real life role, that of a singer. Now anyone who is familiar with the environment of movie sets would know that it is virtually impossible to maintain a strict diet out there. Now you maybe are wondering how she lost weight despite all the odds!

Well, her nutritionist prescribed a special detox drink for her and during the following two weeks, she survived on nothing except that drink! That is a bit tough I agree; I for one cannot even imagine being on a liquid diet, that too, for two weeks straight!

But that is what Beyonce did, and whenever she would suffer from unbearable pangs of hunger, she would douse it with this detox drink. So that is how she lost weight! If you want to follow this diet plan, I would advise that you don't use it beyond a week or ten days at most!

Fortunately it doesn't take a lot of skill or expertise to prepare this drink. All you need is to do is to get eight ounces of clean and pure sprint water, and then mix the following ingredients to it:

a) 2 tablespoonfuls each of lemon juice and maple syrup. Both the lemons and maples should be fresh and completely organic, and the juice must be made at home. Don't buy high-calorie flavored juices from your local store!

b) If you want you can also add a little bit of cayenne pepper to the mix for taste.

So that's it! I would say that it would taste best if you cool it off in the refrigerator but of course you can also drink it hot! Both lemon and maple cleanse all the toxins from your body and therefore help you lose unnecessary weight!

However just like other liquid diets, this one also has several downsides, and Beyonce herself admitted to have followed it out of lack of choice; she further admitted that given a choice, she would prefer a healthier diet plan to this one. If you really want to follow this diet plan, make sure to fix an appointment with your local nutritionist just like Beyonce did, so as to make sure that your body is fit for this diet plan!

The one major drawback of this diet is that it virtually makes you starve, and that is not a good weight loss method. When you starve, you will lose weight for sure but that would be just water weight! As soon as you get back to your normal food habits, you would gain back all the 'lost' weight instantly! If you want to get rid of your fat belly or flabby arms, you need to lose FAT, something which this detox diet is unable to help you with!

Fatigue and weakness are some of the side effects you may suffer from the use of this diet, so be careful if you decide to go for it!
